EDIT: Forget Blind Santa, apparently I'm already blind. Nevermind.

You will get your giftee's information from me in PM through Bay12's forum.

[Retro]

All right, thought about it a bit more overnight, and I'm game. Just going to add a 'cannot ship overseas' notice to my info PM and I'm good, I think.

[Akigagak]

Signed up, with the stipulation that I live on a small island in the English Channel, and thus it'll probably be bought online. Amazon and Play.com to deliver here, though, and Play even has a warehouse up the road from me.

In case it's relevant... USPS has a very nice "media rate" for books and such.

Not really.  Whatever I send is going to be light, but it'll probably have to be thrown in a package of one sort or another.  If the postage is above $2, I'm not sure I'll be able to spend the money unnoticed.

Mm, the life of a college student~

(Plus, I don't assume that other people will share my taste in books.  I'd say that my hit rate is 50% with people I know, which is not really acceptable for something like this)

 Blarg, I don't even know what I'm gonna send. I thought of sending this glass orb that was used as a float for nets in the 1800's, but then I remembered that it's basically the same as a glass figurine that most people outside of elderly housewives dislike. I'll have to scour my room again for some stuff.

Indeed. I have a neat idea for something to send which I can personalize a little bit depending on the person I get, but it's absolutely going to have to be be hand-made (or at least hand-altered). Most of what I can put aside for this is likely going to go right into postage, low or high as that may be.

[KaelGotDwarves]

When is the deadline?

Few days into December. Haven't had time to look at my calendar yet. That gives you 2 weeks to decide whether you can get on board or not.

Do you all want me to post a list of those involved so that wild speculation hilarity can begin?

I already got more than a dozen responses so the first groups of PMs will be sent out later tonight.

[Solifuge]

I'm going to wait on learning who I'm Solstice Amigos with, and will try to find inspiration there. Have a few ideas for crafty crap, but we shall see.

[Criptfeind]

This look very interesting, and I would do it if I had the money.

Maybe next year, depending on how many of you turn up on missing persons lists.

[Lumbajak]

Signed up. I can't not be generous.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Also, Kael, when are you going to be back playing games.

Edit: Also, is that little something going to be a steam game?

When I'm no longer a monk Oh, I really want to have another go at AI:Wars with all the expansions now.

And probably not, unless Stalker or something similarly awesome is $2 again.

[Strife26]

I don't currently have a mailing address to recieve stuff, but I'd like to send stuff anyway. I was sorely tempted to buy knives for people (especially this really cool psuedo-knuckle knife that I'm pretty sure wouldn't be street legal).

Doesn't the Army give you a forwarding address for care packages/Christmas at least?

I would check the legality of shipping knives to your destination when you get your partner however, unless you don't care. Then it's all good.

[KaelGotDwarves]

First batch of Secret PMs sent!

If you signed up early and didn't get one, don't fret, that just meant you were on the other spectrum of the RNG. I still have to send another ten PMs or so.

In case you were wondering, I just used a list randomizer and then took the people in North America and Europe that could not ship abroad and randomised those with others within their continents.

Happy gift hunting!

PS: There's still plenty of time to sign up and get on board if you haven't signed up yet!
